A new project by V Love Movies and Beth Loves Bollywood (the authors of which who have, not coincidentally, declared themselves long-lost masala friends based on a shared affection for plans involving fleets of backup dancers in pleather trousers, reunited by tearful mothers and all set to have heart-tugging adventures): each of us picks some ripe screen captures and sends them to the other for humorous subtitling! See how "subtitle" can easily be changed to "subtitter" by swapping out the L for a T and adding an R? See? Okay. Here are the seven I chose, and the post by V Love Movies is here.

my other filmi projects

Bong Along - a blog on vintage Bengali movies co-written by Indie Quill and me (and perhaps a few very friendly appearances by other friends as well).

Masala Zindabad - the podcast by Indie Quill and me, often featuring other writers and fans as guests. Masala Zindabad is an affectionate and thoughtful look at the broad range of themes that define Bollywood and make Bollywood defy definition. Available at iTunes.

Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit - the Agents of M.O.S.S. are a shadowy confederation of like-minded writers, broadcasters, creators, and jetsetters who have banded together in a bold mission to bring international intrigue and pop entertainment to the masses. Can anyone stand in the way of their diabolical schemes?
